At Apostek, looking for candidates with aptitude to work in startups is a continuous process. Through our strong referral program and specialist recruiters, we make sure that our recruitment pipeline is well stocked to meet sudden needs of the customers.

Round the clock operation requires distributed but very cohesive engineering teams. Our work culture enables 1-to-1 interaction between team members across continents making the teams work like one cohesive unit.

Testing needs of a startup are different from those of larger setups. Our QA teams are completely sensitive to the fact that it is absolutely essential to understand the business domain very well. We set right priorities and optimize testing cycles via tools and agile processes. It is very important for QA to figure out the most effective testing in a limited timeframe rather than blindly follow the book.

This point is missed out very often - the need for efficient communication in a distributed development setup. While working with US clients, we have realized that this is one extremely critical factor that determines the success of working together. Departing from the conventional model of having a key account manager communicate with the US counterpart, at Apostek we believe in empowering all our employees with communication skills that leads to a more fluid interaction between teams. This is done by having a culture where engineers very proactively connect with team members across the globe and provide frequent status updates.
